We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- 16 When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left, 17 He does not utter a single word, without a ready recorder seated next to him. 18 And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid. 19 And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof Warning (had been given). 20 And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness. 21 (And unto the evil-doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day. 22 And his companion will say: this is that which with me is ready. 23 It will be said to the angels, “Both of you fling every excessive ungrateful, stubborn person into hell.” 24 Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter, 25 who set up with God another god; therefore, you twain, cast him into the terrible chastisement.' 26 ۞ His companion will say: O our Lord! caused him not to transgress but he was himself in error far off. 27 [Allah] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the warning. 28 My Word is not changed; and never do I inflict the least wrong upon My servants.” 29
